Hey, I've lost a bit of weight since that was taken! It's an optical illusion caused by my 'large' frame at the time:dance:!Not according to your avatar!
What are your thoughts on the Rekon, does it roll well?Good thread, here's my experience so far.
Got some American Classic Smoking guns 40mm ID for my Lapierre Spicy 27.5. Put a Maxxis Rekon 2.8 + on the front which fits my standard Pike fine.
Running a 2.35 Nobby Nic rear, which has blown out to a 2.55 anyways. Running 13/17 PSI and I weigh 80kg without gear on.
I have dropped 200 grams from my original setup of XT wheels with a Magic Mary Fr/ NN rear so win win for me.
Better grip no question and bombs through rocky stuff like a beast. We ride the Northern Beaches of Sydney so lots of gnarly sandstone tracks mixed with sand, clay and regular dirt.
Front Tyre diameter now around 28.25 so have slackened HA almost half a degree and raised BB slightly (which I needed)
Here's some pics:
Yeah mate rolls really well. I started with a Magic Mary on the rear, which was terrible for rolling on tarmac, and thought maybe it was the Rekon as well.What are your thoughts on the Rekon, does it roll well?
I'd like to try one on the rear. Only early days, but the DHR II might be too much tyre on the rear.
Oh and for anyone wanting to give plus size a go, I have a 2.8 and 3.0 Nobby Nic for sale rather cheaply... Wink wink.
